Meh, probably not. Quantum mechanics isn't really my thing, nor is any other branch of physics, apparently. I grew up in mediocre schools, with mediocre learning environments, so I could barely make any use of the decent teachers. Since then, I only try my best to make sense of physics and chemistry and other branches of science for the sake of pseudoscientific abilities. And if they don't work, then they'll simply have to be reworked. For example, I just thought of something. What if you could produce particles that were perfect blackbodies? I would call them scotons (from the Greek 'skotos' meaning 'shadow'). They would be literally black in color, about the size of regular atoms. And since atoms are WAY bigger than photons, the particles would absorb light until they were full. Then, since the valence shells can only take so many electrons before they get full, when they get full they would repulse whatever other photons come into contact with them. Would that work? Could it? Could such particles exist? And if so, what parts do you think would be necessary in the anatomy of such a particle (as is proton, neutron, electron)? I would think they could be electrically neutral (no charge), but I'm not sure. Or maybe some other unknown energy that deactivates (disperses) photons, and thus appears black, because it does not have any color to it?

Maybe you should get that out to the scientific world

I don't ack like i know every thing but maybe that is how umbrakinesis works controling the stuff you just said

I appreciate your idea, Black, but I think I'd like to get a more amateur opinion first. The worst Zale can do is disagree, and provide me with yet more information to work on. The scientific community might sooner try to publicly make me out to be an idiot and slander my name among their ranks.

I don't know. I mean, it sounds good to me, but then again, so did manipulating anti-photons...
This, and many lessons before this have shown me, not always does what sound good, actually work.

Meh, maybe if we can get a working mathematical or scientific theory, then I'll hand it over to some scientific journal to test out the math.
Until then, it's much more fun to speculate.

But it is not like man will understand the world in the next 50 years may in a 1000 but i would just keep that idea tucked away

Yeah, I think I'll keep it private for now. Maybe when I get better at math, and finally get around to tackling some fields of physics and chemistry, I'll try to introduce it more publicly. And who knows, they may stumble upon such a particle, or its equivalent, on their own.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if it happened, but I'm not in any rush, and it wouldn't bother me if such particles didn't exist, or were found to be impossible. Really, I'm fine with just speculation for now. And anyhow, I'd like to discuss it first, before putting it out into the public to be ridiculed.
And who knows? Maybe fifty years, somebody will look back on this site in the Internet Archive, and decide to do the research themselves, and label me 'The Father of the Scoton'. Just think, creepy as it might sound, it would be pretty stinkin' cool to be known as the Father of Darkness.

Yeah, Zale is right. You need Firefox, for spell check.

If you just care about visible light, then possibly..
You see, you have Black Body Radiation. It's also hard to simply create fundamental particles.. Such things would absorb photons, destroying them in the process and moving slightly but barely noticeably.. They would eventually rise in temperature and start emitting infra-red radiation .. But would still be "dark" Though you could see them in thermal imaging. Which paints an interesting picture. One way I can think to manage something of this kind is the creation of spacial distortions. You know that Blackholes absorb light. They do this by bending the 4D fabric of space time so that photons, which normally travel in straight lines, are forced into a circular spiral towards the center of the blackhole.. If you could create such things, they could spin the light waves into themselves and make them "Vanish". Of course, they'd reappear when those distortions vanished. And the distortions themselves would probably do nasty things to anything that touched them..

Well, yeah, that's my thing. It wouldn't be true darkness, but a dark substance (or at least dark to human perceptions). Something that is dark, and works to counteract light (even if it does show up in the infrared). It may even have some capacity to deactivate or disperse said photon, once it absorbs it. That would prevent the blackbody particle from acting as a vector for potentially sickening or harmful radiation, right? Or, yeah, we could do what you say about the 4D spatial distortion, which would seem like an incredibly complex function of Molecular and Spatial Manipulation. And perhaps, rather than generating any of the above mentioned particles, Umbrakinesis would allow you to psychically access a dimension where such particles (either mine or yours) already exist.
